Is iOS 5 available for a 3rd generation, 8G iPod Touch?

I link up my iPod touch to my computer (MacBook Pro) and I check for updates but it says my version (4.2.1) is the current version. When will iOS 5 be available??

No. You really have a 2G iPod. The3G iPods were only made in 32 and 64 GB capacities.

    how do i install ios 4.0 on my 3rd generation i pod touch?

    You should have an iOS4 firmware available in your computer. If you want to upgrade, simply hold the Shift button + click the upgrade button so you can choose what firmware you want your iPod to be upgraded. Choose the iOS4 firmware and that's it.

  • Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

    Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

    I know you are not apple though I believe I still have apoint. As you can see the release date for these two iPod touches is differentby about a year. My iPod was sold as an apple iPod touch 8 GB third generation,and as I can see from this page and many others have experienced this. I wouldcomplain to apple though there seems to be no actual way to do this withouthaving to fork out for additional support, which is unacceptable also my iPodwas bought form a reliable UK retailer. It is not just the seller who names itas a 3rd generation I have also included a print screen of a trade in offerfrom a large phone shop site:

  • WHY WONT MY 3RD GENERATION 8GB IPOD TOUCH UPGRADE TO 4.3.3 ?

    I HAVE BEEN TRYING BUT ITUNES DOESNT SEEM TO SHOW THE MESSAGE THAT AN UPDATE IS AVALIABLE FOR YOUR IPOD TOUCH :S

    There never were any 3rd-generation 8GB iPod touches sold, the erroneous information given out by some dealers notwithstanding. You have a 2nd-generation iPod touch as far as the hardware goes, so the last version of iOS your device will be able to run is iOS 4.2.1.

  • 3rd generation 8g ipod touch

    I thought I purchased a 3rd generation 8g Ipod Touch from Best Buy on April 2011. It will not update to the new OS so I can sync with Icloud. My receipt says 3rd genration Ipod. Did Apple ever make an 8g Ipod Touch 3rd Generation.

    No. You really have a 2G iPod. The3G iPods were only made in 32 and 64 GB capacities.

  • Difference between 2nd generation and 3rd generation 8Gb iPod touch

    Hello,
    I recently won a 2nd generation 8Gb iPod Touch (Part No. MB528LL/A) that I would like to sell. I want to be able to tell the buyer the differences between the 2nd generation model and the 3rd generation model. According to Wikipedia in regards to the 3rd generation model:
    "The 8 GB version is a reissue of the 2nd generation iPod touch hardware, includes OS version 3.x, but does not include support for Voice Control or the remote earphones with microphone."
    According to Wikipedia in regards to the 2nd generation model:
    "iPhone OS 2.0 and App Store access standard. Bluetooth support added but not made active until iPhone OS 3.0, which requires an upgrade fee."
    Does anyone know if these statements are true? Are there any other differences? Is the 2nd generation model more or less desirable than the 3rd generation?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Will my 3rd generation 8gb iPod Touch support ios 5?

    Will ios 5 besupported on 8gb third generation iPod touch even though the latter instalments of ios 4 were not?

    Anyone who purchased their 8GB touch that was advertised as a 3rd Generation may want to go back to where your purchased it. I had all of my original packaging and receipt which showed the item as an 8gb 3rd Gen model. I also had the BB Black tie protection which may have helped. I made my purchase in Feb of 2010. After much head scratching and disappearing managment it was agreed that my original purchase price for the iPod would be refunded. I appear to have been the first person at this location to bring this to their attention. The funny thing is the guy who walked up a couple of minutes after I started my hour and a half ordeal had the same complaint. I had also sent an email to customer service earlier in the week. I did not hear back from them until late in the afternoon after I went to the local store. The lady was aware of the situation and said she was pleased my local store had refunded my purchase. I did turn around and purchase a brand new white 4th Gen model. Wow what a difference, I like my little "crack pad" as my wife call it, more than I did before.

  • I have a 3rd Generation Ipod touch and it is updated to the 5.0.0 OS. However I just got another 3rd generation 32gb IPod Touch--it is exactly the same, but it will not update on any computer I have authorized. I have tried restoring it HELP!!

    The Icloud on the newer i pod will not activate and itunes will not let me download my icloud songs on itunes that i bought on my other ipod how do I update the new ipod and add icloud so i can put my music on it???

    What happens when you try to update/restore Erro message?
    Is is a 2G iPod? They look the same.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    How much would a 3rd generation ipod touch 8gb be worth today?

    There is an 8gb iPod touch. It does have a different video speck than the 16 and larger iPod touches. I know because I worked for an authorized Apple dealer during this time and had to be certified on the product line. 
    Not in 3rd generation, there isn't! This topic has been aired over and over again. Apple have never marketed a 3rd generation Touch with 8GB capacity. Never!
    Non-Apple retailers may have done so, but Apple have not.
    Look at this iPod identification chart from the following article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353:

    please note the a1288 was branded as a 3rd gen.
    Not by Apple!
    From the same article mentioned above:
    A1288 is 2nd generation. It's there - in black and white. Or you can check out the full article for yourself.

    As for its worth, I sold mine on eBay for about $100 a year ago.
    But it was not a 3rd generation model. If you sold a Model No. A1288 as 3rd generation, you better hope the buyer doesn't come back to you for mis-representation.

  • IOS 5 is causing my 3rd Gen. Ipod touch to freeze, slow down and not load music

    On I-tunes I have been adding music but it doesn't work and my ipod is extrememly slow to react when I touch something, like a 3 second delay. It also says that I have 3.5 gb full of "Other" stuff, what is that "other" stuff? Also my games won't open. Can I change the software back or do I need a new I-pod?

    Mine was a normal size then when some apps crashed and burned and in the midst of synch and such, got to be 3.5GB and finally 4.1GB.
    At that point I tried - or it did I should say - when I moved to another computer.
    Using Wifi to sync and restore is slow and terrible. What takes 30 minutes turned into 4 hours and counting.
    Using the cloud may someday make sense and WORK better but for me, I have one ID and 3-4 computers (varies) and 4 are authorized. And I just want to stop wasting time on iOS / Cloud / iTunes and be able to use my device and my media if I want.
    Twitter integration sounded great, but i use UberTwitter and other apps, and those are not "integrated" and prefer my default browser Opera. Or maybe iCab Mobile. But there is no such thing as "switching" default Twitter or browsers. Yes. TwitterDeck is also nice and each 'twit app has its own features and strengths. Why they can't be primary. Need a new free-browser-from-OS again.
    I added one or two apps on iPod that when I then connected to iTunes would cause the iPod to dismount until I deleted them from the iPod.
    There are compatiblity issues with apps + iTunes + devices.
    Could also contrubute to expanded size of Other.

  • How do i know what generation my ipod touch is?

    how do i figure out what generation my ipod touch it?

    More accurately you can look on the back of your iPod Touch for one of these numbers.
    Apple put one of these part numbers on the back of every iPod Touch.
    iPod Touch 1st generation - A1213
    iPod Touch 2nd generation - A1288
    iPod Touch 3rd generation - A1318
    iPod Touch 4th generation - A1367
    Which generation do you have?

  • Was iOS 5 meant for iPad 1st generation?  Ever since updating it is slower and slower.

    Was iOS 5 meant for iPad 1st generation?  Ever since updating it is slower and slower.

    When I first updated my original,iPad I had a number of issues with it, crashes, some sluggishness, and things like that. When the infest incremental update was released a little while later, it seemed to fix the issues on the iPad - or at least it made a very big difference.
    I never updated it all the way to 5.1.1 - because I bought the new iPad so I have no first hand experience with 5.1.1 on the original iPad.
    You can try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they make a difference.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Sometimes this can help. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If you have issues with Safari - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
